The Man Who Owns Every Porsche Legend: Johan Dirickx on 911R & RS History

In this episode of 9WERKS Radio, Lee Sibley is trackside with one of the most respected Porsche collectors on the planet: Johan Dirickx.

Johan’s collection is the stuff of legend, featuring a staggering array of RS and RSR Porsches, the rare SC RS, and the "Holy Grail" itself: an original 1967 Porsche 911R. We sit down to discuss the origins of Johan’s obsession, what specifically separates Porsche from every other marque, and the technical "soul" of the early R cars.

Finally, we put Johan on the spot to settle the greatest debate in the air-cooled community: 964 vs 993. Which of these two icons truly represents the pinnacle of the air-cooled era?
